Training


Our dog training services are designed to build a strong and trusting bond between you and your canine companion. Every dog is different, and so is every pet parent so we customize our training programs to meet each dog’s individual needs, temperament, and lifestyle.
Hunter Twist brings over half a decade of hands-on dog training experience, inspired by the relationship with his very first dog. From self-educating to working with top-tier training facilities, Hunter's path has been fueled by a deep passion for canine behavior and a commitment to helping families live in harmony with their dogs. He has earned professional certifications from PetSmart and a respected local training center, blending both positive reinforcement and balanced training methods. His expertise includes:
* Everyday Obedience
* Off-Leash Reliability
* Behavior Modification (reactivity, aggression, anxiety)
* Therapy & Service Dog Training
* Protection-Style Work
* Future work in Scent Detection and Bite Sports
Hunter has also trained mascot dogs and pets for community leaders, and considers his work rehabilitating shelter dogs among his most meaningful accomplishments.
Our dog training services are designed to foster a strong bond between you and your furry companion while equipping them with essential skills and good manners. Understanding that every dog is unique, we tailor our training programs to meet the specific needs of each pet and their owner.
1. Group Classes and Private Lessons: We offer both group classes for a more social experience and private lessons for individualized attention, ensuring that you find the training format that works best for you and your dog.
2. Basic Obedience: We focus on fundamental commands such as sit, stay, come, and leash walking. These foundational skills are crucial for everyday interactions and help establish positive behavior.
3. Behavior Modification: If your dog is facing specific challenges such as anxiety, aggression, or excessive barking, we provide specialized training aimed at addressing and modifying these behaviors in a constructive manner.
4. Puppy Training: Our puppy training classes are designed for young dogs, focusing on socialization, basic commands, and house training to set a strong foundation for their future.
We offer custom private lessons with Hunter, either at your home or at our Clarksville facility. These one-on-one sessions are tailored to your dog’s behavior, temperament, and environment, providing effective results in a familiar and comfortable space. Hunter’s structured, relationship-first approach—combined with humane tools and clear guidance—ensures that both dogs and their humans feel empowered, understood, and successful throughout the training journey.
